How to Build a Breakthrough Marathon Plan (Just Copy Mine)

The purpose of this video is to give you some ideas on how to build your next marathon training block. This is my exact 15 week training plan for the 2026 NYC Marathon and hits all the bases for a proper build. Following a training plan similar to this will help you establish an aerobic base, build strength and speed through hill training, and sharpen up your fitness through a proper taper phase. I am a firm believer that most runners would simply improve their times by running doing more aerobic volume. In most cases, if you want to get better, just do more. However, you DO NOT need to run as much as I am to improve your marathon. Hopefully this plan gives you a few ideas for your next build, enjoy!
